Cuckold

Definition - What does Cuckold mean?

Cuckold, when used in a fetish context, describes the fetish of men who find masochistic pleasure in watching their wives have sex with other men. The man is complicit in the infidelity and often helps arrange the meetings. The couple need not necessarily be married, but there needs to be some kind of commitment between the two.

Kinkly explains Cuckold

As a fetish, cuckolding is a form of mental masochism that mostly involves mental humiliation. In a typical encounter, the woman has sex with another man while her husband watches. The husband is, of course, aware and willing. This lack of participation, this feeling of being left out, is what many cuckhold fetishists enjoy.

Another aspect of the cuckholding fetish is competition. Some psychosexual theories claim that men will desire their wives more if they've just had sex with another man because this allows the men's sperm to compete. While this theory is not widely accepted, some cuckholding fetishists feel this aspect applies to them.

Cuckhold fetishism can exist along a wide variety of other BDSM-related activities, such as female dominance, voyeurism, denial and verbal humiliation. Cuckholding is different from swinging (there is not another woman to have sex with the husband) and threesomes (because the husband doesn't participate).
